Criminal Activity in Cambridge

Mike Ripley and Richard Reynolds (crime buyer at Heffers)

We're delighted to hear of some very interesting events coming up at Heffers Bookstore - hope to see you thereCambridge, Heffers: An Evening
with James RuncieThursday, June 26th at
18:30James Runcieis at Heffers to celebrate the third part
of hisGrantchester
series: Sidney Chambers and the Problem of Evil, published in May 2014. It is the 1960s
and Canon Sidney Chambers is enjoying his first year of married life with his
German bride Hildegard. But life in Grantchester rarely stays quiet for long.
Our favourite clerical detective soon attempts to stop a serial killer who has
a grievance against the clergy; investigates the disappearance of a famous
painting after a distracting display of nudity by a French girl in an art
gallery; uncovers the fact that an 'accidental' drowning on a film shoot may
not have been so accidental after all; and discovers the reasons behind the
theft of a baby from a hospital in the run-up to Christmas, 1963. In the meantime,
Sidney wrestles with the problem of evil, attempts to fulfil the demands of
Dickens, his faithful Labrador, and contemplates, as always, the nature of
love. Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death is being adapted for television
and will run as Grantchester, a six part series in the autumn of 2014. The
production company is Lovely Day, the writer is Daisy Coulam and filming will
take place in Grantchester and London in April/May 2014. Tickets from: https://james-runcie.eventbrite.co.uk
